Darro Chea

As a graduate from Berklee College of Music, I flourished with a double major in Music Production and Engineering and Guitar Performance, consistently earning a place on the Dean’s List every semester. Aside from maintaining an outstanding GPA of 3.85 in the face of two very demanding majors, I have also been able to complete a number of meaningful projects both inside and outside of my major, while maintaining and running two student clubs, engaging with several regular guitar and engineering gigs, and working two part time jobs.

Outside of the music aspect, I am very involved with the student community at Berklee. As founder and president of the Berklee Tennis Club, I strive to provide students with a break from the routine of music and classwork and promote physical activity, stress release, and a healthy lifestyle. We plan regular on court practices, fundraisers and semester tournaments. I am also a board member for the Students for Berklee Club, a student organization dedicated to student philanthropy and fundraising for education. For Students for Berklee, I’ve created flyers, volunteered, and coordinated campus-wide events.

When I find the time, I like to enjoy non-school related activities such as tennis, boxing, snowboarding, surfing, and creative writing. These activities help keep me grounded and alleviate stress from school. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is extremely important to me because when I feel relaxed both physically and mentally, the productivity and quality of my work and academics increases.
